Agreed with all of it, as did a few callers

The Podcast will be up soon no doubt

Goodwin is not safe,  nor should he be

    Should have started after the Adelaide loss. All pointless now. But this week's game was arguably our worst on a skills front for the season so unsurprisingly the heat has risen now. Looking forward to listening.

    I just got out of Denial, check the other thread!  ?

    Why do people always attack a commentator when they point out how bad we are? MFC have been extremely lucky so far in how they've avoided their right whack from the media. Only Ox and Lyon have noticed so far, but now, finally, the focus is on us (at least a bit anyway).

    Robbo has also described us as a 'basket case' in his regular post-round write up.

    It's not a commentators job to find the answers, it's our coaches.

    Yes i know.

    But there were 3 Coaches jobs already ended this year. That is the only reason Goodwin has been spared so far. 

    He was lucky Bolton was still hanging on when we played Carlscum, we wouldn’t beat them now. 

    The Media Torch has moved. Goodwwin will get this Summer to get his shiit together.

    You can see in the Goodwin presser and the message to members he is devoid of ideas and at a loss to explain the performance as the "injuries" we are building a game style etc excuses and talking points don't wash any longer!

    Bolton was sacked in June, we played Carlton in July. 

    Kingy was a big supporter of Melbourne last season and before the commencement of this season, it’s a shame to lose the support of an outsider. Our membership will take a huge hit next season.

    My mistake about Bolton. Sentiment remains. 

    Yep King was a huge Supporter for a long time. No more....

    Lucky?  it would have been better to have the blowtorch back in round 5

    was not attacking him, just pointing out they have a very easy/high paying job

    Dub. There were 3 jobs on the line early in the year. They have now been sorted

    Goodwin is now “on”

  • Quote

    The players remain the same but have no confidence and the team structures haven't held up at all.

    We get scored on the same way every week, 666 has been a death knell to set up, teams getting over the back, lack of pressure and so on is clearly coaching!

    Skill execution is a player problem but in part come back to player development.

    Don't really think it's an 'easy' job at all. Whether you agree with him or not, he's one of the best for actually doing a stack of research into his analysis. If it was a 'very easy/high paying job' wouldn't we all be raking it in with every post on Demonland?

    I agree we should have had the blowtorch a long time ago, and if we weren't such an irrelevant club we might have.

    Goodwin is lost, Jennings is lost, the players look lost, the Leaders are not leading, the club is sick and has been all year. 

    Players in the press basically admitting no one has any idea whats going wrong, Max saying they are a long way from a  basic AFL team, Lever saying they fundamentals are not there.. its just bloody embarrassing, it really is, its a total unmitigated disaster and no one can arrest it.

    First one to really put the heat on Goodwin. 

    "This one sits in the coaches box."

    Can't see it turning around this season. That gives Goodwin 6-8 weeks in 2020.

    Yep. The comments by Max tell the story

    i have never heard a player talk like that

    Agree with everything David said. The marketing campaign starting this week with the "Big 3" may be a disaster as why would anyone come and watch us play the way we did Saturday night. 3 game membership who would bother.

    I have asked the club not to send me their Monday morning email with Goodwin's message. The problem has been there all year and nothing the club has done has fixed it. This is a massive fail both at player level and coaching level.

    They deserved King's boot in my opinion.

    It is obvious, what is wrong..   Skills and Connectivity = 13 goals scored via turnovers.

    Fixable ......Yes , by getting ball out before opposition line up

    When....... Soon Hopefully

    Solutions : OMac to CHF Pretty to CHB, Clarrie to Outside MId:  Gus, Harmesy in MId, JV to Small Fwd

    This is an outcome of something being wrong within the club. Are the players rebelling? Is the game plan overly confusing?

    I agree King is one of the better ones but surely you can see he gets the job based on being a former AFL player and then just needs to comment on tactics/stats and occasionally making an outlandish comment to make headlines.  doing some research when this is your job is not much to ask. Us fans on DL obviously dont get paid even though a reckon a few of us know just as much about footy than Kingy if not more (not including myself here)

    a dream job if you ask me

    Look you can pick it apart as much as you like. Yes we have been s*@^ all season, we know, have been putting up with it, not just this year, for many years.

    If this c&#(@ is there in 2020 (HELL I HOPE NOT) then we should move people on, but for now please have faith, that next year we have a full fit list of players who when they put on our jumper and run out for their first match of the season in 2020, they bleed red and blue.

    The coaches need to know they are on notice, improve or don't let the door hit you on the way out.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
